Armie Hammer refused to shave chest for new role

Actor Armie Hammer refused to shave his chest hair for his upcoming Snow White remake because he didn't want to lose his "manhood".


The Social Network star plays Prince Andrew Alcott opposite Julia Roberts in the as-yet-untitled film, but he admits he clashed with production bosses on the movie set because he couldn't stand the thought of going bare, which was required for his character.

He tells Details magazine, "Julia (Roberts) had a line about how smooth my chest is, and it's not. So the producers were like, 'OK, just shave him.' And I was like, 'Whoa. I spent 25 years earning this chest hair. I'm wearing purple tights and a codpiece, so, please, let me keep my manhood.'"
